NE Revolution 1 United 4

The first half was one to forget, but a flurry of second-half goals, including four in the space of 11 frantic minutes, kickstarted Manchester United's pre-season tour of the United States and gave fans in New England's Gillette Stadium plenty to cheer.

The Reds ran out 4-1 winners and were the better side for long periods in the game, even if the first 45 minutes failed to yield more than a smattering of goal-mouth action.

None of Sir Alex Ferguson’s men will have been sleepless in Seattle after United were forced to work hard on an energy-sapping pitch to procure a 7-0 victory in the Reds’ second US Tour clash.

The scoreline suggests a stroll in the park, but for the first 45 minutes the sides were evenly matched for long periods. Then, an explosion of second-half goals – including three in four minutes – put the game way out of sight.

Fitness is always the main aim during pre-season, although Sir Alex will certainly be pleased with the Reds’ performance and composure in front of goal during an entertaining game played before a packed and passionate crowd at CenturyLink Field.
